theres that way some men who sweat alot in the
middle of the day from maybe climbing steps in the heat or
carrying things in humidity, theres the way
they smell. musty and wet, mixed with their cheap cologne.
some "sporty" fragarance. kind of like
the smell of soap on your hands
but hours later when your fingernails are
dirty and you've been handling money or touching
stair railings at the subway station
but you can still smell the soap.
and if they're a little fat
just a little and their tshirts are not exactly tight
but not exactly loose. usually they have round
heads and their short hair may be thinning
and they could be wearing fancy jeans and maybe fancy
shoes or some shitty white sneakers, but definitely
a gold chain not exactly for decoration but not
exactly not for decoration.
and even if they did dry off their sweaty faces
you could still see it on them, the heat
the exertion, the discomfort. the smell.

you make me think of this.
